Date Posted: 2011-09-23

A 22-year-old Marine is behind bars for trespassing and entering an Okinawa office, but he says it was all an accident.

Private First Class Shawn Michel Perry trespassed into an office in Okinawa City’s Chibana district about 4 a.m. Saturday, entering through an unlocked entrance. “I entered by mistake” is how Perry explained his presence in the office to police.

Police confirmed Perry had been drinking prior to the arrest. The Marine told police, however, “I don’t remember if I drank or not.”
